Hey ... this is a good way to learn yet another language, drop in a few words of Russian every now and then! :) I understand your situation better now ... I have my 2 computers all to myself, and one is even off most of the time! I just looked around on my computer and still have the sources for Chest 3.19, but no executable, and can't compile/link at the moment, but will experiment a bit the coming days, since it's Ansi C, so it should compile ok ... I've never seen Chest in action! Pretz has been running for the last 45 minutes with different settings, found the solution a lot faster, just over 3 minutes now, but no shorter mate unfortunately: 03:19 WM13 10 Qxg8+ Qhxg8 Ng6+ Kh7 Nxe5+ Qfxe4 Qcxe4+ Kh8 Ng6+ Kh7 Nxe7+ Kh8 Ng6+ Kh7 Ne5+ Nxe4 Qxe4+ Qxe4 Bxe4+ Kh8 Nhf7+ Qxf7 Nxf7+ Kg8 cxd8=Q# Well ... I'm off to bed, so it's shutdown for Pretz now too ... Have a nice Easter with your family ... Paul
